There is a simple way to duplicate any item that is stackable by using the streetpass functionality built into Fantasy Life for Nintendo 3DS.

Fantasy Life’s Streetpass revolves around choosing an item you wish to give to passers-by. However, it does not take the item from you….

It’s been found that you can choose multiples of an item to give away. Let’s start low… how about a stack of gold ore? Well now you and your friend has that stack of gold ore. I’m sure you can see where this is going! How about some Life Cures? They’ll come in handy no doubt. Rare ores like magic or, marine ore, maybe something from the DLC (which I’ve yet to bother buying) are all pretty good ideas. Mine or buy a stack of 99 of them, and voila. You’ll soon have 198 or them.

See what your friends want, and tell them what you want and you can be rich together!

Pushbullet is a great app that allows you to share notifications to and from your phone/computer. I recently saw Dead Man’s Snitch (a service which alerts you about cron jobs) and figured I could probably replicate the most important functionality for me using Pushbullet. After all, being a poor student is all about saving as much money as possible!

Playing around with the Pushbullet API whilst setting up backup notifications for my servers, I wondered if I could get a push notification every time (hopefully) just me logged in via SSH.

I ended up with the following bash script that can be added to your bash login script (~/.bash_profile)
